摘要：

A familiar face, a favorite smell or a friend's voice is instantly recognized. This rapid perception depends on the coordination of millions of neurons. How can such a small input stimulate so massive a response? Surprisingly, the author points to chaos-hidden order in seemingly random activity that allows many neurons to switch abruptly from one task to another.
